Del Webb Reviews in Phoenix Mesa, AZ

We have built before and this process was very timely and easy.

Our home purchase with Pulte and Del Webb went very smoothly and dealing with the builder was uneventful. The dealing with the construction person for the walk-thru was informative and all requested items to be handled before closing and move-in were taken care of as was promised. We would not hesitate to recommend Pulte and Del Webb.

We ended up having two builders. The first one was fantastic and communicated all the time sending pictures along the way. After about a month we had a second builder who didn’t communicate at all. Wasn’t the end of the world as others we know in the community sent pictures. The house is very nice and we have been switching out cheep items that were part of the house like tolet seats and facets. There were two issues with the home. The biggest was the master shower is leaking really badly. This was brought up by our independent inspector. Though we were told, by the builder who didn’t communicate, that if there were any issues at all to reach out and he would be sure to get it fixed right away. This doesn’t seem to be the case as the issue isn’t fixed and scheduled for another two weeks from now. All other items from the home inspection were taken care of and pictures were sent as they were completed. All in all a very good experience and we are very happy with the home and the process we went through. ... More

Since moving in we have had issues w doorbells not working and light to our outside address not lighting up. We have sent several texts and told an electrician would be by to fix it. That has not happened for at least 3 wks.

Excellent experience from sales to delivery said what they were going to do and delivered. Michael very responsive and helpful throughout the process. He’s a superstar!

The process of choosing our lot, decorating, building, and financing our new build home was very exciting and a great experience, so during that time I would have gladly recommended (and did) DelWebb/Pulte to others. However, now that we have moved into our property it has not been a very good experience. Construction crews building other houses around us start at a very early 6:00am almost every day (sometimes even a little earlier), including Labor Day. They also constantly play loud music while working - which is rude, inconsiderate and annoying - as well as against Pulte Construction's rules. We also heard from a neighbor that when the house was completed but still vacant before we moved in, some workers were using our outdoor electrical outlet to plug in their equipment for use in other houses - which probably affected our electric bill as it was already set up in our name. So, there do not appear to be any foremen or supervisors for these workers and it has been very difficult to reach any one to handle our complaint. There was also some incomplete workmanship in our house that has needed and continues to require repair. All of this has made the new build experience with Dell Webb/Pulte very disappointing, so at this time I cannot recommend buying or building a home in a new construction neighborhood. ... More

The quality of the people is great, very friendly and welcoming. We had the whole interior of our home repainted and some drywall repaired, we paid out of pocket for that. We still have an exterior wall that needs paint also. I do not believe the house was cleaned after construction, I am still finding drops of paint on countertops and dust that should have been cleaned prior to us moving in. But I will say overall so far we love our house I just wish there was a little more attention to detail.

We enjoyed watching our dream home being built. The quality and expertise going into the building process was excellent. Steve our building manager was wonderful and kept us updated with pictures of the process every Monday morning. We can’t say enough good things, everything went great.

Nicolette in sales and Josh in construction were amazing and made the entire process easy. Outstanding communication and responsiveness.

From sales through Construction our experience has been great. The only hiccup so far is lack of timely response to emails to our Customer Service representative.

We love our new Pulte home. We find it very energy efficient and cozy

A couple of things needs improvement in the quality of the home One-the quality of paint of the inside is nothing but awful Two-an updated baseboard to match the quality of the rest of the house should be included Three-the easiness in which the patio door should be open should be looked at as we are all senior citizen Other than that, I think it’s a wonderful home

My homebuying experience with Del Webb has been deeply disappointing. I feel misled on key aspects of the build—especially regarding material quality, fabrication issues and changes, and misleading statements that cost me thousands when opting to select the higher-end options offered by Pulte. Despite repeated assurances, major issues were downplayed or ignored. What should have been an exciting milestone became a frustrating and deceptive process. While I had a positive experience with the sales agent, construction manager, and design center staff, the real issue seems to be with Pulte’s vendor contracts, which I found out deliver far less than what’s promised. I’m now considering all my options to ensure I receive what I paid for. ... More

We purchased our second home in Sun City Festival.

Great value for the money. Impressive communication and response time from the construction manager. Quick response time addressing concerns and issues. Focused on happy customers!

We used all aspects of Pulte services a d could not be more happy. The building superintendent has and continues to be responsive and available. The insurance team has helped lower my rates on 2 homes and 2 cars and the Mortgage team made everything easy by being thorough and flexible.

Everyone I dealt with was committed to providing excellent service.

Sales, design, construction,and mortgage were all top-notch. We love our new home, the third Pulte home we have had built and enjoyed.

The options and flexibility was extremely limited for new construction. Example: If you didn't want one of the 3 lighting options given you had to buy & install light fixtures/fans yourself. Also, the interior upgrades were grossly overpriced. I would say the quality is slightly above average for both the interior and exterior work. The Del Webb community itself is very nice.

Once you buy your home, a person from Pulte or Del Webb goes through the house with you and then they want an excellent rating and tell you so Be sure before you do any rating that ALL has been completed on your checklist. We were promised repairs but they never came through and this was after the rating! Beware

I was fortunate or maybe unfortunate to be able to visit the house almost weekly to see the progress of the new build. It was frustrating to witness the lack of "craftsmanship" that they claim in the promotional materials. To look at finished window openings that were not plumb or level, inconsistent wall texture due to the numerous times the drywaller had to return, items that supposedly passed inspections but yet I had to point out to the construction manager that they were wrong or needed to be fixed and the attitude of not only the construction manager but the senior construction manager were disappointing. Basically was told that this is how it's done in AZ so accept it. There are other items but I could type forever. I do have pictures documenting the subpar work. Now after being in the house for a couple of months, it's obvious subcontractors are not very keen on using a level to check evenness of tile and numerous other aspects of a build. We'll call this "slap and go construction". Hopefully anyone that looks at these houses has a thorough inspection if they are not able to watch the whole build and check daily or weekly to see the lack of "craftsmanship" they claim they put into their product. ...

I love my Pulte house. However, the workmanship from some of the subcontractors are horrible. Zero pride in their work. Painters did the worse job I have ever seen. Concrete patios not level. But I must say Brian and Tommy with Pulte have worked so hard for me trying to correct this. Pulte needs to up the quality standards with the subcontractors.

Our final inspection revealed a defect in the ($8000) waterfall island countertop. Replacing it would have delayed our closing, and with our rental deadline and movers, that was not an option, so we settled on a $500 food voucher. Pulte could have worked with us on that. Disappointing. While gutters were being installed after closing, 12 cracked roof tiles were discovered. One of the bathroom sinks has come loose from the countertop. Hopefully it won't completely tear away and fall, causing further damage before it gets repaired. We replaced the powder room mirror which had been glued to the wall. Fortunately, we were able to remove it without breaking it, but the wall behind it was a mess. ... More

There are several things I would do differently if I had the opportunity to build a new home again. I would like more than four hours to go over all of the selections that you have to make at the design center. When you are selecting your flooring, cabinets, electrical and lighting and are new at this process it is very overwhelming. Now that I’m in the home I can think of several items I would have chosen that we weren’t even aware of at the time. I’m not impressed with the appliances as the microwave broke in the first four weeks of owning the house and trying to deal with Whirlpool was a nightmare as once you close on your home you deal with the manufacturer for the appliances. I truly repair as many items as I can as the warranty repair process has been slow and the scheduling of repairs isn’t always provided to us and we’ve had companies come out to do repairs that we weren’t informed about them coming. I would strongly suggest that you have a home inspection done prior to closing as our inspector found several issues in our brand new home. In the end we have a home that we’re happy with but we have had to deal with a lot of repairs and problems that a new home shouldn’t have. My thoughts of a clean new home and theirs are two totally different things. ... More

Escrow and closing flawless. Move in readiness exceptional. Project manager very attentive to project quality
